How the dogs words fit each size

65 of the 66 dogs words fit the 11 × 11 easy grid. VETERINARIAN is too long for it, so it only turns up on the 15 × 15 medium and 19 × 19 hard grids.

26 words have five letters or fewer, DIG, FUR and PAW among them, and those are the first ones young solvers spot. The longest, VETERINARIAN, HOUSEBROKEN and BLOODHOUND, are the last to be found.

A way to use the dogs word search

Good for a dog-themed birthday party or a shelter fundraiser table. Ask finishers to circle the breed they would adopt.

Printing and the answer key

Print hides the controls; the PNG is rendered at 3× so letters stay crisp, and the answer key saves under its own filename. Need a whole book of these at KDP trim? KDP Creator builds the pages.
